In their own words
Foxpass
Foxpass Cloud RADIUS and Cloud PKI provide identity- and certificate-based authentication for Wi-Fi and VPN connections without hardware or local servers. Every plan includes Cloud LDAP, a hosted directory service for VPNs, legacy apps, and system logins. The Standard license adds EAP-TTLS authentication, group-based access control, role-based administration, and a web console and API. Advanced adds EAP-TLS, Cloud PKI, automated certificate lifecycle management, and device posture-based access control. Foxpass supports integrations with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, OneLogin, legacy Active Directory, and custom LDAP directories. Cloud PKI integrates with MDMs including Intune, Jamf, Kandji, and Addigy. Base plans retain logs for 24 hours, with an add-on extending retention to 90 days. An Engineering License add-on supports Linux, macOS, and SSH workflows, including SSH key rotation and sudo access policy enforcement. Dedicated cloud tenancy and self-hosted deployments are custom options; self-hosting is limited to enterprise customers. The standalone Cloud PKI plan is $0.50 a month, billed annually. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
